How can I group device on discovery in Google smart home action?

Question

I have a smart home skill already working fine with google home but when google home discovers devices for first time I want to group appliances into different rooms and relay this info back to google home. I know user can make rooms and assign appliances to them after sync event but I want to group them at the sync event so users wont need to do that from their end. Is it possible?

Answer 1

In your SYNC response you can return the roomHint property for each device which will provide a signal to the Assistant after discovering it.
